Good Morning. Dr appt today...going over labs

I wonder if Dr E and the new "fellow" surgeon flipped a coin to see who would have to review labs with me. LOL The last fellow really liked my lab tracking spreadsheet and by the 3d visit listened to me as much as he talked. I'm not sure he ever got over the initial shock that I take 50,000IUs of dry D3, even after my surgeon rebuked him and said it was normal and safe for a DSr. I guess what they learn in textbooks is really hard to dislodge even with proof of the opposite sitting right in front of you. I think Vitalady has said the same thing several times. She's had docs standing in front of her with a bottle of 50,000IU dry vitamin D3 capsules in their hands telling her they don't exist. LOL

Well, we'll see what they have to say about my high triglyceride number (I think the lab added 100 points) and my high AST and ALT (liver function). I think everything else is good and I'll be tweaking vitamins to adjust what I need where. That's the beauty of taking separate vitamins--you tweak what you need to tweak and leave be what is good to go. Yes, more pills but you get used to it.

Y'all have a great Wednesday!

I'm sure whichever Doc you get - you'll let them know what's best for you!

I'm curious to see what they say about the AST/ALT. I've started a liquid Milk Thistle the past few weeks because I wasn't taking the capsules - just too hard to get down, and if I broke them open - ACK!!! The liquid isn't the best tasting either, but not that bad. What's nice is 1 dropper of the liquid equals 3 pills of the other.

Well, the AST was within range and the ALT is a little high but he and Dr Elariny agreed it wasn't high enough to worry about considering the other related labs.

Good luck today Gina.

I still need to get the Milk Thistle. I went to GNC and they had it in a capsule. Is that what I need? How many a day do I need to take?

Capsule is what DH and I take. He takes 1 - 300mg capsule at breakfast and dinner and I take 2 at each meal. Maybe start with 1 at B & D like my DH and see if your AST and ALT come down on your next labs. If not, increase to 2 capsules as at B & D.
